Our communities cry out for a response to the economic problems that are plaguing them.The major parties have nothing to offer Illinois’ communities except scandals and the usual clichés about “cutting spending”.It’s time to move from the politics of sound bites to a politics of solutions.The Green Party is offering a sound and responsible fiscal policy.This fiscal policy will be an important vehicle by which to build prosperous and sustainable communities.

Now is the time to turn our hopes and dreams into actions.We must end the debate over whether government is large or small, liberal or conservative and instead make a commitment for good and efficient government.This will be a difficult challenge, but one the Green Party is willing to embrace.
